Johnny Hekker story speaking of the Bones glory days. It's about 2:00 AM and the Rams have come back to Cal Lutheran on the bus from LAX after beating the Saints and are going to the Super Bowl. I was part of the die hards out there cheering and jumping around like a kid when they were arriving and leaving the Cal Lutheran facility in the wee morning hours. It was awesome. Jonny Hekker was a passenger in a vehicle and he had the driver stop at the biggest part of the crowd lined up against the driveway. He rolled down his window Climbed out of the window with the door closed and we all surround him and the car and he was leading the "WHO"S HOUSE? chant, throwing his fist in the air. He was totally into it! OMG. What a moment, what a win, what a team and we were going to the Super Bowl. Hekker would go on to set a Super Bowl record 65 yard punt in that game. And unfortunately, special teams had the only points in that game. I do miss that special teams magic. Oh! Hekker also had that fake punt against the Saints on our own 30 yard line, when we were losing 13-0. Talk about some watermelon sized balls! That play kept us in the game. GO SPECIAL TEAMS!

Brennan Presley?
Of the current on roster available choices, I'd prefer the playoff experience and ball security that Whitt would bring to teams.
He's not fast or flashy, but he is a fairly solid runner and has only had 1 fumble over his 3-1/2 year career with the Rams.
And that was in the Australia game.
Sure, he hasn't had many touches, but he's much more big game savvy that I think Presley is at this point.

I dont recall Whit fielding punts, only kickoffs. Maybe I am forgetting. Punts are a completely different animal.

I don't think he has either. It is much different than KO's for sure.
His overall in game experience is all I was leaning on with my comments, vrs say Presley's.
 
Everyone on here is making fun of the fact that Bachman just had his NFL dream crushed and the real problem is the coaching which has not been corrected.
My bet is his dream will continue somewhere. He was with the Giants in 2021, Las Vegas the last two years and the Rams this year.

I hope they bring up Presley. He returned 61 kicks and 51 punts at Oklahoma St. over 5 years!!!!

Well, before we got Bachman I was saying to give Brennan Pressley a shot at both return jobs and I am back to that again. He's hungry for a chance, has decent speed, and had some success in college doing it. Give the kid a shot.
